Yeah the fish didn't suit me either. I'm new to Icewm and I read a little about this on the forum somewhere. Maybe it was something on Icewm-ultra?
To (sort of) rearrange items in the Icedock, point your mouse at the edge or empty area and roll the mouse wheel. (Edit) Click and drag on the handle (narrow top edge) to move the dock along any corner or edge of the screen.

(Edit) See Mark's great new Icedock Wizard here and the configuration file (/root/.Muppyicedock/template-icedockrc which updates /root/.icedockrc) for additional options, including
layout=vertical|horizontal and placement=topleft|topcenter|topright|leftcenter|rightcenter|bottomleft|bottomcenter|bottomright

(Edit) To change colors, add and remove the icedock apps use the same Icedock Wizard. Makes it easy to accomplish everything described below and more.

To remove the fish entirely from the dock, click on the Quick Launch Menu (third button on bottom taskbar, after Start and Show Desktop) and click 'edit startup'. That should open ~/.icewm/startup in a text editor. This script is executed by starticewm when IceWM starts. Comment a line as follows:

wmfishtime &
#wmfishtime &

Save the file and restart Icewm

I decided to do the same with
#volume.app &
because I use the smaller wmix volume control instead.

Also in Quick Launch is 'edit weather-app' where you can set your station id for weather indicators to your location. That opens the file /etc/wmweather.conf. Mine is KPSC -- K plus the nearest three letter airport code. Hmm, I wonder if the K is unique to this area or the same throughout the US?_________________lhpup.orgLighthouse 64 6.02Last edited by tazoc on Mon 18 Dec 2006, 01:31; edited 2 times in total

wow
we are getting serious eh!
ok
now is time to start switching my main laptop to puppy as well (my backup desktop and my backup laptop are already on it)
today, while playing with the partition table, i screwed it, and while i can still fix with the backup, i prefer to get rid of ubuntu and get the new muppy!

only 3 condition for the complete overhaul of my system:

first i need good perl support, i MUST be able to run scripts

second i need my intel 2100 wifi card to WORK, work good with no problems.

third, while i can have a fat32 partition, i would like to do everything on ntfs, if puppy totally supports it, swap is not an issue, since i already have a swap partition.

so now only my main desktop remains on ubuntu (i need multiuser) and winzoze xp _________________--

I tried Muppy today. A brilliant demonstration of how and what can be done. I looked for things to discover and use.

Here's my question, and I'm almost embarrassed to ask. Somewhere in there I found a very handsome set of tan or light brown, more or less rectangular, gnome icons that were just right for my desktop. Unfortunately I lost them in a reboot, and cannot remember where I found them:-(
Do you possibly know what I am looking for? Sorry to ask.

Does the recent edition solve the problem I was experiencing with Dougal's latest edition of the remaster script and the probepart issue?

This release looks very sharp. One thing I wanted to point out that is fixable pertains to playing streaming video from sites such as CNN, video.ap.org, etc. Would be nice to have the codecs pre-installed for release 007. From personal experience, this is a bit overwhelming for a newbie. Just a suggestion.

My custom Puppy based on 2.10 supports almost all online streaming video formats using the Firefox mplayer plugin. I'll have to refresh my memory on how I was able to get this to work, but I'll provide you with the details in a few hours. In the meantime, can you create a PSI compatible object for the mplayer browser plugin from the source at http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net ?? That would help. There is also a MediaConnectivity Firefox plug-in you can pre-install at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions.

EDIT: One of the most critical steps that comes to mind was supplying the Firefox browser with a list of file extensions associated with multimedia formats to be used by gmplayer. I was actually able to get this to work by using another distro's Firefox browser presets, which saved me a good deal of time in defining my own. A bug that I encountered that I still have not overcome is that once the media file finishes playing it would shut down the browser. That needs to be solved, Also, there are some sites that for some reason I can't seem to get the video working, like www.foxnews.com which I've been able to use the mplayer plugin with in the past._________________Jam
